Dana Brooke confronted Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey

Becky Lynch is heading back to WrestleMania because Ronda Rousey sent her there by getting Charlotte Flair disqualified at Fastlane. But lest you think The Baddest Woman on the Planet suddenly found charity against her embattled rival, the Raw Women’s Champion threw cold water all over that idea by explaining she was out to “expose” Becky, Charlotte and WWE as a whole a bunch of “carny con-artists” on the biggest stage the industry affords. (She even went so far as to invite WWE to turn the bout into a Handicap Match, so she could beat both challengers at once).

It wasn’t surprising her insults would bring forth a defender of the Women’s division, but the individual who answered the call was somewhat surprising: Dana Brooke, who has gone through a series of trials and tribulations to make her name, decided to take on a kamikaze mission against The Baddest Woman on the Planet by accepting her traditional, post-pay-per-view open challenge. Unfortunately, the days of Rousey welcoming competition have come and gone, and the champion savaged her would-be challenger in short order, even striking a ref with a slap to the face in the course of the attack. She stopped short of locking in an Armbar, however, shouting that the audience would have to fork over the pay-per-view fee to see that. The blurring of business and personal has often been dangerous ground to tread for even the most talented Superstars, but for Rousey, it’s simply one more tradition for her to flaunt. It’ll be on Becky or Charlotte to restore the balance, but against this Ronda Rousey, that might be too tall an order even for them.
